Better and More Efficient
The MKR WAN 1310, brings in a series of improvements compared to its predecessor, the MKR WAN 1300. While still based on the Microchip® SAMD21 low-power processor, the Murata CMWX1ZZABZ LoRa® module, and the MKR family’s characteristic crypto chip (the ECC508), the MKR WAN 1310 includes a new battery charger, a 2MByte SPI Flash, and improved control of the board’s power consumption.
Improved Battery Power
The latest modifications have considerably improved the battery life of the MKR WAN 1310. When properly configured, the power consumption is now as low as 104uA! It is also possible to use the USB port to supply power (5V) to the board; run the board with or without batteries - the choice is yours.
On-board Storage
Data logging and other OTA (Over The Air) functions are now possible since the inclusion of the onboard 2MByte Flash. This new exciting feature will let you transfer configuration files from the infrastructure onto the board, create your scripting commands, or simply store data locally to send it whenever the connectivity is best. The MKR WAN 1310’s crypto chip adds further security by storing credentials & certificates in the embedded secure element.
These features make it the perfect IoT node and building block for low-power wide-area IoT devices.
